​
Show and Tell is everyone’s favorite part of the meetings. If you cannot attend the meeting in person to share your projects, you can submit pictures and information about your projects to our guild email address utquiltguild@gmail.com Be sure to put Show and Tell in the subject line and include your name and any information you want to share. The deadline is the Sunday before the meeting.
Pictures shared online and in person will be uploaded to the Guild’s FB after each meeting.

​
$tash for Ca$h is also a monthly feature of our meetings. We welcome the treasures that you bring. These are items that need a new home and can go to a new home the night of our meeting. Members pay what they feel is appropriate but if the items are left at the end of the evening, please take them back home.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
We will follow the guidelines for Shelby County Schools in the event of inclement weather, particularly ice and snow but applicable for any weather event which impacts safe travel to and from the Uncommon Threads Quilt Guild monthly meeting. If the schools are closed, the UTQG meeting will be cancelled.
Discussion was held regarding the option of switching to a virtual only meeting but concerns for the completeness and timing of the notification led the board to follow the practice of cancelling the meeting if there is a weather event with the potential to impact the safety of our members. This decision is not applicable to the UTQG Board meetings as they are held virtually each month.

July Program
Tuesday, July 29, 2025
I hope you had a great Fourth of July! Our July Program is the Red, White, and Blue Extravaganza, and we can't do it without you! Everyone is encouraged to participate if you have (or want to create by July 29th) a red, white, and blue project! Please bring your quilt/project with you to the monthly meeting on July 29th to show it during the Program portion of our July meeting.
The only rules are:
- The project has to prominently feature those three colors
- The project does NOT have to be patriotic
- Patriotic quilts and quilts of valor are welcomed and encouraged
- Please do not bring projects that are political or have political messaging. Let's keep the focus on the quilts and not on politics since this is a quilt guild full of members who wish to remain friends.
- If you are bringing multiple quilts/projects to show, please limit yourself to five items or less to allow everyone enough time to show off and talk about their projects, too.
If you're interested in participating but either can't attend in person or gifted the quilt to someone, please submit pictures to the guild email with the subject line titled "July Program Picture" and include your name somewhere in the email. I can't wait to see what you bring! utquiltguild@gmail.com
